• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SSB/CORE808 - Object &1 already locked under request &2 of user &3 ?

  The SAP error message /SSB/CORE808 Object &1 already locked under request &2 of user &3 indicates that a specific object (like a transport request or a development object) is currently locked by another user. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when multiple users are trying to modify the same object or when a previous session did not release the lock properly.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently working on the same object, and the system has locked it to prevent conflicts.
  Unreleased Locks: A previous session may have crashed or not released the lock properly, leaving the object locked.
  Transport Requests: If the object is part of a transport request, it may be locked under that request by another user.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is temporary, you can wait for the other user to finish their work and then try again.
  Identify the Lock: Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks. You can search for the object and see which user has locked it.
  Release the Lock: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually release the lock in SM12. Be cautious with this approach, as it may disrupt the work of the user who currently holds the lock.
  Check Transport Requests: If the object is part of a transport request, check the status of that request in transaction SE09 or SE10. If necessary, you can ask the user who holds the lock to release it or complete their work.
  Contact Basis Team: If you are unable to resolve the issue, contact your SAP Basis team for assistance. They can help identify the cause of the lock and take appropriate action.
